The Hollywood Bowl was transformed into a dazzling spectacle in 2025 as the legendary Diana Ross took the stage, delivering a night that will forever be etched in the hearts of those lucky enough to attend.

As the lights dimmed and the first notes of “I’m Coming Out” echoed through the iconic venue, the crowd erupted, their anticipation rewarded with an enchanting fusion of elegance, nostalgia, and show-stopping performance.

From her timeless Supremes hits to her solo chart-toppers, Ross offered more than just a concert—she gave a masterclass in star power. With each costume change—from shimmering gowns to regal capes—she lit up the stage, her presence as commanding and radiant as ever. Every note, every shimmy, and every smile radiated a joy that bridged generations.

But it wasn’t just the music that captivated—it was the atmosphere she created: one filled with celebration, connection, and the unmistakable magic of a living legend. With heartfelt tributes, family moments, and that iconic declaration—“Either you move it or you lose it”—Diana Ross reminded us all what it means to truly own the stage.

At age 81, Ross brought an unforgettable nearly three-hour performance to Los Angeles, reaffirming her status as a living legend. She opened with a captivating career retrospective video before transitioning into “I’m Coming Out,” dressed in a radiant yellow gown with matching cape—a theatrical entrance that thrilled the sold-out crowd.

Her set seamlessly wove together Motown classics like “Baby Love,” “You Can’t Hurry Love,” and “Stop! In the Name of Love,” sparking massive crowd sing-alongs as visuals and nostalgia filled the stage. She then shifted toward her solo hits and ballads like “Touch Me in the Morning,” “Don’t Explain” and “Theme from Mahogany,” showing her vast stylistic range and emotional nuance.

Ross dazzled with multiple costume changes—beginning in black-and-white, then red, moving to gold, and finally a sparkling silver ensemble for the encore. She closed the night with a powerful rendition of “I Will Survive,” blending the disco anthem with DJ Khaled’s “All I Do Is Win,” bringing the crowd to their feet in the final burst of energy and glam.

One emotional highlight: Diana invited her daughter Tracee Ellis Ross onstage for a heartfelt duet of “Endless Love.” Tracee, playfully nervous, admitted: “I have to get over my fear of singing with her” — prompting cheers as they sang together under the spotlight.

Later, other members of the Ross clan—including Rhonda, Chudney, Ross Naess, Evan Ross, and grandchildren—joined for the finale, creating moments of genuine warmth and celebration.

 “Either You Move It or You Lose It”

Mid-show, Ross quipped with trademark wit:

“EITHER YOU MOVE IT OR YOU LOSE IT.”

Her clever delivery and playful shimmy encapsulated the evening’s energy—proof that age hasn’t slowed her brilliance a bit

Diana Ross’s Hollywood Bowl show was more than a concert—it was a celebration of a cultural icon still evolving, inspiring, and moving audiences anew. Her message was simple but powerful: you’ve got to keep moving—on stage, in life, and in music.
